There are not many blogs out there dedicated to cooking on a pellet smoker. I have been cooking, grilling & smoking over 35 yrs now. I recently bought a Traeger Lil Tex Elite pellet smoker & have cooked on it over six yrs. now. I would like to share recipes & info I have gained from cooking on it.
Update 2014: I have plenty of recipes here for the pellet smoker so I am now including other outdoor cooking and some of my indoor cooking too.

CP Shiner Bock Beef Sandwiches

Apr 22 2016

This AM I needed to make a beer run and go to the grocery. I
ask the wife what she was hungry for, she didn’t know. I said how about roast
beef sandwiches and a salad. I went to my butcher and got a small 2 pound chuck
roast that looked good.

It was showers off and on this AM and my smoker needed
cleaned out so I got the Crockpot out. I got the roast on at 11:30.

Sprayed bottom of CP with olive oil

Sliced onions on the bottom

Chuck roast added, trimmed a little side fat off

A little pepper

A packet of Lipton’s beefy onion soup mix added

Poured a cup of Shiner Bock over

Added beef stock to almost cover

Added some garlic flakes

Sprinkled on some Penzey’s ranch dressing mix

CP on high for an hour and then down to low. After about 5
hours I removed the beef to cool then shred and remove fat. I turned the CP to
High and added some corn starch slurry while I prepared the beef. I added the
beef back and left on high for a half hour then down to low until we ate.

My wife made us a salad and I fried some hashbrown cakes I
had some French steak rolls I split, beef and onions on one half topped with
Swiss cheese. The other half was sprayed with olive oil and then popped under
the broiler to toast and melt the cheese.

Tasted great! If I can’t have beef chuck on the smoker then
a Crockpot is next best and usually turns out tender beef.

About Me

I started cooking when our children were in highschool & my wife worked.I was layed off during the summer & just kinda took over the kitchen & my wife does most all the cleanup. We are both retired now. I am a recipe hound, love to try new things. I suppose my cooking methods have evolved from Mid West Ohio, Southern, Soul, Cajun, Creole, & German, all of which I love.
